Marius' Mules - Rome's first professional soldiers!

Roman Legionary

In addition to creating figures for museum exhibition, artist historian George S. Stuart also produces commissioned figures for serious collectors. One of his collectors requested this figure of a Roman legionary. Gaius Marius is recognized for totally restructuring the Roman Army and introducing new training regimens. He changed the army from a voluntary militia to a professional force, allowing men from all classes of Roman society to join and make a career of military service. See a full length view of this amazingly detailed figure at the Gallery of Historical Figures!
